Obama’s ‘schmoozing’ to cause travel havoc

President Obama’s plan to schmooze Wall Street honchos at a Westchester fund-raiser Friday is grounding wealthy weekenders who planned to fly to the Hamptons or Nantucket for the Labor Day holiday.

The FAA has issued a no-fly warning that extends for most of Friday and all day Saturday through Sunday, grounding seaplanes to East Hampton, Montauk, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

On Friday, Obama will be feted at the home of one of his top bundlers, 32 Advisors’ Robert Wolf, in the aptly-named Purchase, NY, with 250 high-rollers paying up to $32,000 each to bend Obama’s ear.

Obama will then fly to Newport, R.I. for an event to benefit House Democrats. Melissa Tomkiel, president of seaplane companies, Fly the Whale (which flies from NYC to the Hamptons and Nantucket) and Tailwind (NYC to Boston and DC), told us, “A flight restriction was issued banning operations in the NYC area due to the president’s visit on Friday for practically the whole weekend, causing major business losses and inconvenience for our passengers on the busiest weekend of the year. It is frustrating. We have had to move at least 10 flights and cancel a number of private charters, costing us thousands of dollars. We count on this weekend to get us through the quieter months of the year. This will create a perfect storm on a holiday Friday, creating air space havoc between New York City and Boston.”

As of Wednesday, the flight restrictions occur from 2 p.m. until 5:45 p.m. Friday, then start again at 9:15 p.m. Friday night and extend until Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

The White House didn’t immediately get back to us last night.

Wedding guests vetted by Secret Service ahead of Obama’s visit

Guest at two Labor Day weekend weddings in Tarrytown are being vetted by the Secret Service because President Obama will be staying overnight in the area with Michelle.

Sources tell Page Six the White House has blocked off 50 rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton for the president’s entourage.

The Secret Service will have plenty on its hands — there are two weddings at the DoubleTree Friday, sources say, and they are busy vetting the guest lists.

The Obamas will be in town to attend a wedding on Saturday night, but not at the DoubleTree. They will instead be at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills for the wedding of White House chef Sam Kass, who will tie the knot with MSNBC host Alex Wagner Saturday.

The first lady visited the Rockefeller-owned Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture for a fund-raiser in 2012. Overseen by Dan Barber, its food is all grown and raised on-site including pigs, sheep, cows and chickens, which range freely in large pens.

Local Brian Doyle, who, with chef Nick Bell, co-owns J.P. Doyle’s Restaurant in Sleepy Hollow, told The Post’s Lois Weiss the Obamas were welcome to stop by the pub for dinner or a nightcap.

“It would be right up there with us having the Vince Lombardi trophy after the Giants won,” Doyle added.

First they frisked the golfers in Martha's Vineyard, now they're inconveniencing the DoubleTree guests. It's good to be king.

Nothing to see here. If ValJar doesn't say it's important, it's not important to B. Hussein.
